As far as I can see these guys have made a big part of job about description of PP customizing and implementation. I am a PP consultant, and I find out a lot of very useful tips concerning this part of SAP R/3. An integration with CO and MM has also been described. So I recomend this issue to any interested in PP people.

This is basically a poor rewrite of the on-line SAP documentation. There is nothing to learn from this book. I have found that all of these "Administering" books from Que are waste of paper. Spend you money elsewhere.

The content in this book is not helpful if you know how to use SAP's online help. It is insufficient to provide an understanding of how particular functions in PP module work. In brief, this book is not informative.

The best thing you can say about this book, and all the books in this series, is that the author found a nice formula to make some money with. I bought a couple of these books when they were new, I was new in SAP, and I did not know better. I believe the are a direct rewrite of the help files, with less value. Recommended under no circumstances ever.

If you are looking for an overview, search around for SAP PDF files called "Functions in Detail". These were internally produced, about 100-150 pp, and had a really good conceptual top-down look at a particular functional area of SAP. Even though they are years out of date, the core information is just as valuable as it originally was.

This book is good if you use it as a reference in your job. If you want to learn PP this is not the book for you. I helped me in a lot of projects. Moreover the functionality in PP has hardly changed from 4.6C.

The book is not so informative who would like to understand the detailed functions of SAP PP module. The book contains no picture or screen shot. It's dealt with various functions but it doesn't seem to be enough.
